I have 3 young kids and tubes are tied. I started breaking out in cystic acne on my face and back, and dr. put me on beyaz. It has helped, but I have gained a couple of lbs, and as silly as it may sound, I feel like I have increased cellulite and water retention. Im halfway through my 3rd month on the pill and I really just want to quit mid-pack. However, I am so scared to start breaking out again. I had hormones tested prior to starting on bc, and was expecting testoterone to be high, but it was actually low. blood sugar was low, and a few other things were borderline. Noone has any suggestions. I have so many red marks from acne that it taking forever to heal. I just don't know what to do at this point. Back breakouts are so gross, too. Never had that when I was in highschool, or before children at all for that matter. I don't want to be on birth control forever. I am also taking wellbutrin, and mild anit-depressant, again, because I feel so imbalanced after baby #3. Nothing severe, just irritable, resltelss, and borderline depressed here and there. I think stickcing to a holistic, vegan diet may be the answer to all of this, but I don't know if it's faith or will power that I am lacking.

I would NEVER take birth control again.A lot of these medications have very harmful long term effects,and through taking birth control,among others,I have Candida,which si very serious.I've been using the routine on this website which is very basic,less than a week and already my acne is better.Please give it a shot! Don't suffer!
